Six months may seem like a brief period of time to someone who's (cough!) in college, but once you're in your thirties and forties, women and men both tend to come right to the point a lot quicker. Time's a wasting, particularly for women who want to have children. And at that age, experience and wisdom should tell someone long before six months have passed whether or not they're wasting each other's time.

Or toying with someone else's feelings. A mature and virtuous man would not do that.

I disagree with most of what you have posted on this thread, but agree completely with this one.

As a divorced man of 50 who never cheated on his spouse and who will not have sex until I remarry (believe me, it is not because I don't have strong sexual urges), a man and woman need to discuss the potential for a future marriage before six months.

Exactly. WHAT is so unreasonable about that for two adults (especially in this case, when there was no SEX to distract from or delay the discussions they should have been having :D)? We're not talking about a couple of kids who don't even know themselves yet.

Waiting for marriage is one thing, waiting around for a person to know their own mind is quite another. People should be honest about what they want and don't want, before things have gone on long enough to create false expectations or hard feelings.
